How Does a Reverse Mortgage Work?
Three simple steps — no monthly mortgage payment, you stay on title, and your Seattle home equity becomes flexible cash flow.
Check your eligibility
You must be 62+, live in the home as your primary residence, and have enough equity. Most Seattle single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, and HOA communities qualify.
Choose how funds reach you
Take a lump sum, a growing line of credit, monthly income, or a combination. The reverse mortgage pays off any existing mortgage first — ending the required monthly payment.
Stay in your home, payment-free
You keep paying property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and basic upkeep — just like today. The loan is repaid when the home is sold or is no longer the primary residence.
What a Reverse Mortgage Can Do for Seattle Homeowners
Stay put. Feel less pressure each month. Use the equity you've already earned.
Stay in the home you love
Keep your home, your street, and your routine. A reverse mortgage is built so you can stay right where you are.
End the required monthly payment
Have a mortgage? A reverse mortgage can pay it off. No required monthly mortgage payment going forward — that alone can free up hundreds or thousands a month.
Turn equity into cash flow
Take a lump sum, set up monthly income, or keep a line of credit in reserve. You pick how the money reaches you.
What Most Seattle Homeowners Get Wrong About Reverse Mortgages
Reverse mortgages have changed a lot. Here are straight answers to the fears we hear most.
Does the bank own my home?
No. You stay on title. The home is yours. You keep paying property taxes, insurance, and upkeep — the same as any homeowner.
What happens to my kids or heirs?
They have options. When the loan ends, your family can pay off the balance and keep the home, refinance it, or sell it and keep any remaining equity. And they will never owe more than the home is worth.
Can I be forced out of my home?
No — as long as it's your primary residence and you keep up with property taxes, insurance, and basic maintenance, you stay. That's the design.
Do I still have a monthly mortgage payment?
No required monthly mortgage payment. You still handle taxes, insurance, and upkeep — just like today.
Why a Reverse Mortgage Works for Seattle Homeowners
Washington offers a Senior Citizen and Disabled Persons Property Tax Exemption and a Deferral program for eligible homeowners. A reverse mortgage doesn't take you off title or disturb your ownership.
- Stay on title — you remain the owner
- WA Senior Exemption (if you qualify) is based on ownership, age, and income — ownership continues
- No required monthly mortgage payment
- Serving Puget Sound — Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Shoreline
General information only — not tax or legal advice. Check with your county assessor about the Senior Exemption and Deferral programs.
